any chance you can share settings?
Running in Docker on Linux?
are you using MPEG-TS in your custom channels settings?
HLS isn't going to work.
Found the issue with long tuning times on ONN Streamer…. My MOCA adapter needed to be power cycled. Speed had slowed to 100Mbps. 1000Mbps after reboot. Launch time is now 8 seconds.
Just FYI.
Does anyone have a config for AB tuner that will work for Sling?
I am using compatibility mode.
Here is th elink i'm using.
The channel is Gert Comedy.
I'm using Sling right now. Pretty solid so far. I've not mapped all the channels over, just the ones I wanted that weren't available via TVE. Here's the json for what I have.
I did add ESPN as a backup channel even though that has TVE access.

Apparently I can't attach a json file. If you drop this in notepad and save as a json file, you should be able to import then.The easy way to do this is to use this Project One-Click Action, that will grab all of the Sling channels you're subscribed to, add them to ADBTuner, and create a CDVR Custom Channel Source for them.
This Action can be run whenever you want to keep your list of subscribed channels synchronized with your ADBTuner and CDVR channels. This is particularly nice if/when you change your Sling subscription to add or drop a package.
We've all had TVE fail from time-to-time for whatever reason, and by having all of your Sling channels setup -- whether available via TVE or not, a failed TVE tune will automatically roll-over to ADBTuner:
Thanks for the pointer. I do notice the channel mapping isn't running as intended (I believe). I installed an updated ADBTuner and notice now the individual channels have a "sort order" where the channels are being populated.
I haven't installed the latest development build yet. Are you saying this happened using the Project One-Click Action? That could be correct though, since Sling doesn't have channel numbers (unlike say DirecTV), the value there should null. And the new sort order field is likely assigned by ADBTuner when the channel is created.
Also, if this was done using the Action, I'm trying to populate as many of the Gracenote IDs as possible. I see this one is missing, what do your other channels look like?
Yes, used the One Click Action. Several had Gracenotes but some were missing. Quick scan the missing channels that aren't "preview channels" were:
MGM+ Drive-In
NFL Network Alternative
Paramount Network
UPtv
Investigation Discovery
Local Now
Sling Scapes
Sing Scapes 2
Basically the only channel worth noting is Paramount Network.
I just have the base Orange+Blue plan, so not sure if others would be missing in their addons.
Could you add the item_id to each of these channels you listed? If so, I'll add them to a reference file that contains that number and the Gracenote ID.
I'm looking for the number between channel/ and /watch in the URL for that channel. That way the next guy, or you the next time you update, will have the Gracenote IDs added.
Item_ID? Is that the alphanumeric specific id in the channels web address when selecting the channel in the guide (not the individual show but the channel)?

Development build 20251226-1 contains a fix for channels that are added via the API with a null channel number. The display channel number field will no longer be set to the string "None."

I'm trying to resolve an issue where the profile screen appears to be detected, and then it looks like ADBTuner circles back to look for a profile screen again:

When I was working with your codebase a couple of months ago, I remember encountering a similar issue based on what you have setup to trigger after 15 seconds -- and the fact that several other parameters weren't being taken into account.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I abandoned that previous work -- as you've been moving the project forward. 
EDIT: Also, on the subject of profile screens, would you be willing to add a "custom text to detect" option to Custom Configurations? This would be great for matching something like a username, which would be unique to a given installation, or for dealing with new apps with unique profile screen text.
FYI, that Paramount is a "free preview" since I am in my first month of my service, so that may not be the permanent link?

So it looks as though the "who's watching" screen is being cleared, but the app is loading a second dialog window in which the user can select between "Watch Live" and "Start From Beginning" and there is nothing in place to clear that.
I just pushed an update to the development version (20251227-5) in which the profile screen commands can now be managed as part of configurations.
The default commands as specified in the included configurations:
Edited 12/28: Renamed check_after_seconds parameter to start_checking_after_seconds to help clarify the purpose of this setting. A video snapshot will be analyzed approximately once a second after this initial delay until either video playback is detected or the tune fails.
"tune_match_text_commands": [
{
"match_text": [
"who's watching",
"choose an account",
"edit profiles"
],
"commands": [
"input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER"
],
"start_checking_after_seconds": 5
}
]
This will match any of the strings included in the match_text array and all of the commands specified in the commands array will be executed when a string is matched
For your purposes you can probably just modify it as follows:
"tune_match_text_commands": [
{
"match_text": [
"who's watching",
"choose an account",
"edit profiles",
"watch live"
],
"commands": [
"input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER"
],
"start_checking_after_seconds": 5
}
]
If you need to execute different commands you can add a second dictionary instead of just modifying the default.
For example:
"tune_match_text_commands": [
{
"match_text": [
"who's watching",
"choose an account",
"edit profiles"
],
"commands": [
"input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER"
],
"start_checking_after_seconds": 5
},
{
"match_text": [
"watch live"
],
"commands": [
"input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER"
],
"start_checking_after_seconds": 5
}
]
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
As a side note, check_for_and_clear_whos_watching_prompts has been removed from global_options, but should work as it did in the past for custom configurations that were created before this change.

Fantastic! This looks like it has the potential to work very nicely with all of these event-based streams we're integrating into ADBTuner via the work of @KineticMan. It may be a couple of days before I can give you feedback on this. Many thanks.
OK, I've been able to spend some time with this excellent new addition to ADBTuner Custom Configurations.
Setting aside timing related issues for moment, this works really well when an app opens in the expected timeframe.
It appears to me atm, that each check is performed only once. The first after x seconds, and the second x additional seconds after that. If there's no match on the first check the tune is considered complete.
The Paramount+ app can vary widely in launch times, as it can take as little as 12 seconds, but I've seen it take twice that.
Would it be possible to have an option for a subsequent check if the first check fails? Like in the case of Paramount+, I'd probably set the first check at 12 seconds, a subsequent check after another 12 seconds (on failure only), and then a check for the second screen (to trigger a "Live" viewing) 6 seconds later (if the first screen is cleared successfully)?
EDIT: Now that I'm looking at the log, it appears "who's watching" was found, but maybe there was no attempt to match it until the 24 seconds I allowed was up?:

My bad. I think I need to rename that "check_after_seconds" parameter. That's actually when it starts checking. It will check approximately once a second after that delay until either video playback is detected or the tune fails. If you set that to a smaller number (ex. 5) it will probably catch that "watch live" screen one second after clearing the "who's watching" screen.
Edit: This parameter has been renamed to start_checking_after_seconds in the current development version (20251228-1). If this new parameter isn't provided it will default to 5 seconds which should be generally safe.
